Great for families!

We stayed with my extended family—including my parents, five kids, and their spouses—with children ranging in age from 18 months to 10 years. The house was very comfortable, and the kids especially loved the bunk room. It was clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked. The deck and views were amazing. Highly recommend!

We were impressed with every detail of our stay. Great communication prior, during and after our stay. The house is amazing. Million dollar view and lots of space for us all to relax after long days hiking in the mountains and enjoying the local area. Thanks for exceeding our expectations, April!

April's place was perfect! My friends and I are JMU alumni that wanted to return to the area for the weekend. The house had a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of beds for all of us. We enjoyed the porches and the views especially. We would definitely stay again!

Making memories in Massanuttin

We did a family vacation at Kettle View Lodge. 7 adults and 4 children between 2 & 6. The home was lovely, the views were spectacular and our hosts were quick to respond with any question or needs. The resort in itself has a lot to offer but we had plenty to do at the house with the game room and decks. Highly recommend this property for anyone traveling to the atea

Location was perfect - great views of the mountains and the slopes! Lots of indoor and outdoor space; driveway and garage were great - parking for several vehicles was no issue.

Great place to stay!

This is a great place to stay! We had plenty of room, everything we needed, and the owners were communicative and helpful. The two decks in the back both had beautiful views. We had some rain the week we stayed, and especially appreciated that the lower deck stays dry so we could still sit outside. It is close to fun activities for the kids, hiking and restaurants. Comfortable place to stay. Highly recommend!

Family Friends Trip

Three families with 6 adults and 7 kids stayed at the house for four nights. It was everything we needed and wanted. The bunk room is huge with a common space beside it for movie watching. The main level is spacious but not massive so it gives a comfortable cozy feeling. The view is unbeatable! The hosts were so friendly, quick to respond and helpful. The driveway is big enough to park cars side by side and they don’t bottom out like so many mountain side driveways. We would definitely come back if we ever wanted to explore Shenandoah Park or JMU again.

This mountain home is fantastic! Eleven of us, 3 generations (ages 7 to 62 ), had an amazing time. Close to all resort activities, yet you feel as if you are in the clouds. This home has everything you need and the layout is perfect for gathering yet proudes privacy and space. Can’t wait to return!!!

Amazing view

The view from the deck is beautiful. The deck has a gas fire and seating for 8+ people, perfect for watching the sunrise and relaxing in the evening. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty to dishes, cookware, baking pans and a crockpot. There were even extra coolers in the garage, which was nice when we hiked and took a picnic lunch. We would definitely love to come back again.

Kettle View Lodge was amazing!

A family getaway to celebrate. So glad we found the Kettle View Lodge. I saw the picture of the view on VRBO and did not look ant further. Surprisingly, the actual view is far superior to the picture. Everything about the experience was a 10! Great house, great hosts, great golf course almost walking distance from the house. We will definitely go back.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and April

We love the mountains and fell in love with the Massanutten Resort area when we visited. It is central to so many family activities and we look forward to visiting often (when we're not sharing our home with other families or course!).

Why they chose this property

Welcome to our home nestled in the heart of the Massanutten Resort. Our home is situated in a highly desired area and offers amazing views all year long.

Wake up to stunning sunrises that you can enjoy from inside or outside on one of our new, multi-level decks. Spend a cozy evening relaxing by the stone fireplace, or gather with your family for a fun game night in our entertainment room. We also have a separate billiards room where you can challenge your loved ones to a friendly game of pool. And for those quiet nights in, snuggle up and watch a movie together on one of the large smart TVs.

Nature lovers will delight in the abundance of wildlife that regularly.

Our aim is to provide you with a comfortable and welcoming stay that you'll remember for years to come.
